@johnnyjackhammer Thanks for the feedback! What is your hardware model and what firmware version were you upgrading from?

You’re right.

Since there are 3 LAN ports, you can assign each port to a different VLAN for 3 wired VLANs. If you need to have more than 3 VLANs for wired connections, you’ll need to add a VLAN aware switch to the router and tag the Ethernet port connected to the switch.

For the VPN router setup, you can use one of the following options to expose the server port:
1. Set the pcWRT router as the DMZ host in your ISP router. Here’s an example for the AT&T router: https://www.pcwrt.com/2017/01/configure-att-nvg510-dmzbridge-to-the-pcwrt/
2. Set up port forwarding on the ISP router for the WireGuard server port. For example, if your WireGuard server runs on UDP port 51820, then set up a port forwarding rule on the ISP router for UDP port 51820.

You get the LITE features when you install one of the images for TP-Link or Linksys. But you can buy a onetime Premium license to upgrade to the full version for all features. You can find the comparison here: https://shop.pcwrt.com/products/pcwrt-firmware-upgrade

Can you try rebooting the router? If you could give us some info about how this happened, it will help us find the root cause of this issue and prevent it from happening in the future. Thanks!

The PW-AX1800 actually displays dBm/mw numbers.

What is your hardware model?

LAN and WAN must be different networks, that’s how the router knows it needs to “route” the traffic. You can use the 10.0.x.x range but they must be different networks. For example, you can use 10.0.0.0/24 for one side, 10.0.10.0/24 for the other side.

The router does not support WPS. Is there a way to configure your printer by directly entering the WiFi password?

[support]

So the router should work properly connected this way, right?

[support]

Try this and see what happens:
1. Select “DHCP client” on the Internet Settings page for the pcWRT router.
2. Connect the pcWRT WAN port to a LAN port on the VDSL2 modem.
3. Connect your PC to a LAN port on the pcWRT.
4. Your PC should receive an IP address in the 192.168.10.x range.
5. Log in the pcWRT router and check the Status page. Does the pcWRT router get an IP address from the VDSL2 modem?

The Cloud icons etc do not show until an Internet connection is detected. If your router is connected to the Internet but the icons still don’t show, try rebooting it once.

Please send a screenshot for the last scenario to [email protected]. We’ll look into it.

Where did you see the 100Mbps? How was the router connected when you saw that?
